Location: San Francisco, CA and Los Angeles, CA
Remote: Yes, hybrid considered for the right money.
Willing to relocate: Not at this time
Current Level: Senior Staff / Principle / Lead
I'm a seasoned generalist with deep focus in certain areas such as game development, performance engineering, systems engineering, low-level engineering and embedded software.
What I shipped this year for money: Performance improvements to HFT code (Rust & C++) for financial trading. Firmware for the hardware of an ereader (Rust+ARM).
What I shipped last year for money: High performance (C++) server backend for a video game.
Current side-project: Deep internals work on VS Code Web: using quilt to maintain patches against upstream, extending it with inline agent panels and custom completion providers, backed by a bespoke C# server replacing the Node.js REH with my own dedicated server - similar in spirit to Coder's Code Server or OpenVSCode-Server.
Technologies: kernel drivers, systems engineering, video games, AI, LLMs, caching, graphics, rendering, assembly languages, generative AI, heavy focus on back-end systems, and to a lesser degreee, full-stack.
- Languages: C++, C, C#, Go, Rust, TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, Lua, + more.
- Backend: node, FastAPI, Django, PostgreSQL, mySQL, RocksDB, GraphQL, SQLite.
- Engines: DumpsterFire, UnrealEngine, Unity3D.
- Platforms: Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Linux, SONY PS2/3/4, XBOX360/One, Switch, embedded, web
- Frontend: Next, React, Vue, Pixi
- DevOps/Cloud: AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, VMs, Vagrant, VMWare, TeamCity, Jenkins, CI/CD
- AI/ML: Model training/tuning, LoRa, RAGs, PyTorch, TensorFlow, SciKit, OpenCV, etc, etc, generative AI and computer vision.
- LLM Integrations: OpenAI, Gemini, Claude plus many others, local and cloud.

Re:Life is not a story: why narrative thinking holds you back

Same here. It's just wishy-washy uncommitted phrasing indicative of "don't make a strong opinion that is polarizing" that is so characteristic of AI generated text. I used to use an online writing service for content many years ago and one of the hallmarks of "I'm doing this for a little extra money" and "I'm a pro writer between gigs" was the "in conclusion" and "therefore" and the three part school essay structure. It screamed bad writing, and I am seeing the same kind of flags in AI generated text too.
Re:Life is not a story: why narrative thinking holds you back
on Friday October 18, 2024 @01:51PM (#41881799)
Am I supposed to take this article seriously?
I see the author is perhaps ironically rejecting a narrative by using another narrative to advocate for their position.
The author is sort of implying that there's harm to society and the individual by engaging in these narrative arcs without any actual evidence to support their position. Merely a "I feel" and "might" and "could even become dangerous."
Way too many wishy-washy phrases attempting to soften their opinion, but then goes on to present a false dichotomy of absolutes vis-a-vis: You either embrace the narrative structure and have it destroy you, or you reject the narrative structure and live a care free life.
And because of the uncommitted weasel phrases this entire article has the hallmarks of AI generated slop that someone had to rush through for publication because they procrastinated. I'm flagging this one as "yawn."

The kind of ebook reader you open to the crossword puzzle and say "harrumph" an awful lot whilst sitting in your high back wing chair in front of the fireplace where discrete employees refill your brandy snifter. You may occasionally bend down one corner of the ebook reader as you peer askance at the likes of who they are letting in these days. There is a member of staff whose sole job it is to stand nearby with a real news paper and snap the pages to show your displeasure as you return to crossword. Five down, "someone who adds nothing to the conversation beyond pointing out the minor flaws in another's statements." Begins with P... With P... Hmmm...

The fact that telex was immensely faster, lower bandwidth, operated on terrible PSTN networks (not regular telephone networks) with absurdly low quality, could work internationally with no special hand-off equipment or special fax lines being required, and had multicast and store-and-forward built-in to the protocol and had an image printer protocol extension that was superior in quality to fax and again, required no special equipment for international transmission, could work even when the mains electricity was down (phones and telexes were on separate networks), teleprinters could be powered directly from the telex connection, could work over low bandwidth ham radio connections, and is still in use today in certain parts of the world where it is critical the information gets through, there's a reason that a lot of companies still used the telex well into the early part of the 21st century.

Re:Copy-on-Write Performance and Debugging
on Monday June 24, 2024 @06:41PM (#40781865)
Have been running ReFS on a drive on my Windows 10 workstation for about three years, and recently started using a dev drive equivalent on Windows 10 for the past two months. Our Unreal Engine project is quite large, 600+GB straight from the P4 depot before building. I need to keep a few separate workspaces around, one for current development work, one for swarm reviews, one for "let me test out a thing that might break" because as we know, branching in Perforce can quite painful, especially on large depots. At one point I needed to have dozens of workspaces synced to specific changelists whilst we hunted down a bug in one of our levels.
ReFS, with block de-duplication and LZ4 compression has reduced the per-workspace footprint to around 10% of what it was previously. Decreased build times by around 5% and decreased archive, stage and package times by about 80% by deploying MSBuild SDK CopyOnWrite. I also moved the DDC onto the VHDX where the project resides which has further reduced the footprint of the project.
Windows 11 canary channel (still in canary I think) has a modified Win32 that supports CoW FileCopyEx. You can get similar gains by other means on Win10 and Win11 by using ReFS CoW aware utilities.
Have used XFS, BTRFS, APFS and others extensively over the years, so I am glad that Windows is finally getting in on the action.

There are limitations to the bandwidth available in the cat distribution network which I don't think have ever been studied adequately. There's probably a grant that could be applied for in there somewhere. There's probably some interesting research to be done in cat distribution network congestion too.
I did some computer vision research, and an unpublished (though posted on a blog) paper in the area of feline toe bean rejection on a multi-touch display in a predator/prey simulated environment, i.e. a touch screen display with a virtual mouse (prey) interacted with by a real cat AKA "an expensive cat toy."

Have been running TimeSnapper non-stop on my Windows laptop and Windows workstation since... January 1st, 2006 at 11:16AM. That's almost 18 years of desktop capture. Crazy to think about that. I may have been running it prior to that, but that's the first recorded date on my saved captures. 50% resolution. 60% quality. JPEG. The entire screen and any attached monitors. Hundreds and hundreds of gigabytes of my daily professional and personal life. Captured once every 10 seconds. The movies I've watched. The games I've played. The thoughts I've had. The code I wrote. All of it captured.
Prior to TimeSnapper for Mac I ran my own little script, and a companion one for Linux. Now I have TimeSnapper on my Macbook Pro too. And if you ever create a Linux version (or want someone to create a Linux version), let me know. I'd be happy to beta test.
I've lost count of the number of times that TimeSnapper has saved my arse, either with accidentally deleted data, finding an obscure web page, proving I did something on a specific date/time, or that something happened in the way I say it did, or recovering the keys to a small amount of Ethereum and Dogecoin stored in a wallet.
Thank you for TimeSnapper. It has been interesting to use it for that length of time.
